What it is
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart done with a probe on the chest. It shows the size and pumping strength of the heart and how the valves work, and the Doppler part measures blood flow. It is ordered for heart murmurs, shortness of breath, swelling or known heart disease.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the complete exam done by a sonographer. The cardiologist's interpretation is often billed separately, and a contrast agent, when used, may add a charge.
